Creditors And Debtors In The Real Sector Of The World


An interesting picture is emerging: China is a creditor to other countries in the world to the tune of more than 1,300 billion dollars. This is according to a report published by AidData: "With new data from more than 700 state-owned lenders and donors in China, we show that Beijing remains the largest source of international development finance in the world. It continues to surpass all other bilateral and multilateral sources of aid and credit to the developing world, including the US and the World Bank." Note that China, together with Hong Kong, is by a wide margin the world's largest lender. The top 8 largest debtor countries have not changed for many years (Ireland is to be overtaken by Italy early next year), but the amount of debt is growing: 1. US, 2. UK, 3. Japan, 4. Netherlands, 5. France, 6. Ireland, 7. Italy, 8. Germany. G8 total external debt ~ over $63 trillion.

Government Debt per Capita | The Global Picture

HowMuch.net (23 November 2016) - National debt is one of the most debated issues in politics. After the global recession, people began questioning debt and the implications of too much debt. While some country’s have high debt and some have low, a better measure is the amount of debt dividend by population. Take a look at the map below to see how much people in each country owe towards their country’s debt.


In the map above, you can see each country with a number representing the amount of money each person owes towards the country’s debt. In the legend, countries are designated a color based on public debt as a percentage of GDP. The more each citizen of a country owes, the closer to the center of the map the country is. All figures are in US dollars.

Countries where people owe the most:
    Japan: $85,694.87 per person
    Ireland: $67,147.59 per person
    Singapore: $56,112.75 per person
    Belgium: $44,202.75 per person
    United States: $42,503.98 per person
    Canada: $42,142.61 per person
    Italy: $40,461.11 per person
    Iceland: $39,731.65 per person
    Austria:  $38,769.98 per person
    United Kingdom: $36,206.11 per person

Countries where people owe the least:
    Liberia: $27.44 per person
    Tajikistan: $50.67 per person
    Democratic Republic of Congo: $90.70 per person
    Burundi: $97.62 per person
    Kiribati: $126.98 per person
    Malawi: $172.34 per person
    Uzbekistan: $177.13 per person
    Uganda: $194.23 per person
    Haiti: $204.33 per person
    Mali: $207.54 per person

Right in the center of the map lies Japan, the country with the highest amount of debt owed by each person. Japan has been piling up debt since its “economic miracle” wore off in the 1990s. Each Japanese person owes $85,694.87 towards Japan’s national debt, far more than any other country. Ireland also stands out from the crowd, with each Irish person owing $67,147.59 towards Ireland’s national debt. All of the other countries with a high amount of debt owed per person are developed nations like the United States, Belgium, Austria, United Kingdom, Italy, Germany and others. Developed nations are able to borrow more money because investors generally trust wealthier nations will pay back debt in full. Still, many wealth nations have a staggering amount of debt owed.

The countries with the lowest amount of debt owed per person are relatively poor nations. Liberians owe the least amount of money towards their country’s national debt at $27.44 per person. Other poor nations with low debt include Democratic Republic of Congo, at $90.70 per person, and Haiti, at $204.33 per person. Poor nations usually do not have the opportunity to take on national debt because investors are unwilling to offer loans to these nations. There are a few exceptions to the trend of poorer nations owing the least amount towards debt per person. Taiwan is a relatively wealthy nation with a large economy compared to the size of its population, but each Taiwanese citizen only owes $7,223.90 towards Taiwan’s national debt.

The trend in the chart is pretty clear: wealthier nations have more debt. Japan, Ireland and Singapore are above the trend, with Japanese people in particular owing a lot towards their country’s debt. People living in developed countries owe quite a bit towards their country’s national debt, while people living in undeveloped nations owe very little.

The Global Financial Ponzi Scheme

$1,280,000,000,000 = There is only 1.28 trillion dollars worth of U.S. currency floating around out there.
$17,555,165,805,212.27 = 17.5 trillion dollars is the size of the U.S. national debt. It has grown by more than 10 trillion dollars over the past ten years.
$32,000,000,000,000 = 32 trillion dollars  is the total amount of money that the global elite have stashed in offshore banks (that we know about).
$48,611,684,000,000 = 48 trillion dollars is the total exposure that Goldman Sachs has to derivatives contracts.
$59,398,590,000,000 = 59.4 trillion dollars is the total amount of debt (government, 

corporate, consumer, etc.) in the U.S. financial system.  40 years ago, this number was just a little bit above 2 trillion dollars.
$70,088,625,000,000 = 70 trillion dollars is the total exposure that JPMorgan Chase has to derivatives contracts.
$71,830,000,000,000 = 71.8 trillion dollars is the approximate size of the GDP of the entire world.
$75,000,000,000,000 = 75 trillion dollars is approximately the total exposure that German banking giant Deutsche Bank has to derivatives contracts.
$100,000,000,000,000 = 100 trillion dollars is the total amount of government debt in the entire world.  This amount has grown by $30 trillion just since mid-2007.
$223,300,000,000,000 = 223.3 trillion dollars is the approximate size of the total amount of debt in the entire world.
$236,637,271,000,000 = 223.3 trillion dollars is - according to the U.S. government - the total exposure that the top 25 banks in the United States have to derivatives contracts.  But those banks only have total assets of about 9.4 trillion dollars combined.  In other words, the exposure of our largest banks to derivatives outweighs their total assets by a ratio of about 25 to 1.
$710,000,000,000,000 to $1,500,000,000,000,000 = 710 to 1,500 trillion dollars are the estimates of the total notional value of all global derivatives contracts.  At the high end of the range, the ratio of derivatives exposure to global GDP is about 21 to 1. Credits:

Hitting the Fan | Deutsche Bank in Pre-Infarct State of Imminent Bankruptcy

On June 7, immediately following Greece’s missed payment to the IMF,
Deutsche Bank’s two CEOs announce their surprise departure from the
company (HERE)
Deutsche Bank is the 12th biggest bank worldwide and harbours USD 75 trillion in derivatives bets — an amount twenty times greater than the German GDP (USD 3.64 trillion in 2014). Deutsche Bank is the world’s largest  holder of derivatives exposure and dwarfs J.P. Morgan’s exposure by USD 5 trillion (HERE). Deutsche Bank - along other global banks - was engaged in a slew of corrupt practices from manipulation of interest rates (for which the firm was fined USD 2.5 billion in April 2015), to tax evasion and money laundering to “mis-selling” of derivatives

If Greece defaults at the end of June, Deutsche Bank will lose 50 to 100 billion Euros in Greek bonds and be caught off-side in its derivatives positions. And there is no government nor institution on earth to bail it out

The Revolution Cycle | Uranus-Pluto Squares 1500 - 2104

 
 
The Uranus Pluto cycle lasts about 127 years on average but it ranges between 113 to 141 years due to Pluto’s eccentric orbit. The current cycle began in 1965. The Uranus Pluto cycle represents revolutionary and radical cultural change and technological innovation that transforms society. Uranus represents the archetype of revolution and freedom and is associated with unexpected breakdowns and breakthroughs and innovative ideas. Pluto represents the archetype of transformation and evolution and is associated with the collective shadow, mass movements, and the drive for power. These are revolutionary periods when everything gets shaken up and the status quo is overthrown.
